SWNS/BoF Time-Series
Figure. Time series of acoustic-based spawning stock biomass for
Scots Bay, German Bank, Trinity Ledge, Spectacle Buoy, and Seal Island
spawning grounds. 95% Confidence intervals reported for Scots Bay and
German Bank only.
Figure. Acoustic index of SSB (in thousands of metric tons)
(with 95% confidence intervals; black line), the 3-year moving average
(red line), the overall average since 1999 (dashed brown line), and the
limit reference point for the SWNS/BoF spawning component (revised
2005–2010 German Bank and Scots Bay average; dashed blue line).

NASC Plots
NASC - Nautical Area Scattering Strength
Figure. Herring NASC’s by 2 nautical mile intervals during the 2024
Scots Bay acoustic surveys.


SSB Bubble Plots
SSB - Spawning Stock Biomass
Figure. Spawning Stock Biomass (proportional to size of a bubble
plot) in thousands from 1999 to 2022 Scots Bay acoustic survey by day in
the year. Note that SSB on this figure have not been adjusted by the
turnover equations and neighboring survey times may be temporally
auto-correlated.
Work in Progress - Years with missing Bubbles have not been added to
the database.

adjusted SSB Bubble Plots
SSB - Spawning Stock Biomass
Figure. Spawning Stock Biomass (proportional to size of a bubble
plot) in thousands from 1999 to 2022 Scots Bay acoustic survey by week
number. SSB values were adjusted for turnover to decrease the chance of
double counting. (0) indicates that a surveyed occurred, but due to
double-counting these individuals were removed.

Maturity Samples
Figure. Herring maturity samples collected during German Bank surveys
in 2024 to determine proportion of individuals spawning for Eastern
Shore acoustic index of spawning stock biomass. Stage codes are: 1-2
Immature, 3-5 Ripening or Ripe. 6, Spawning, 7 Spent, and 8-9

SSB Bubble Plots
SSB - Spawning Stock Biomass
Figure. Spawning Stock Biomass (proportional to size of a bubble
plot) in thousands from 1999 to 2022 German Bank acoustic survey by day
in the year. Note that SSB on this figure have not been adjusted by the
turnover equations and neighboring survey times may be temporally
auto-correlated.
Work in Progress - Years with missing Bubbles have not been added to
the database.

adjusted SSB Bubble Plots
SSB - Spawning Stock Biomass
Figure. Spawning Stock Biomass (proportional to size of a bubble
plot) in thousands from 1999 to 2022 German Bank acoustic survey by week
number. SSB values were adjusted for turnover to decrease the chance of
double counting. (0) indicates that a surveyed occurred, but due to
double-counting these individuals were removed.

Length Frequency
Figure. Length distribution used for calculation of TS for the Seal
Island acoustic surveys with proportions <23cm and >30cm shown as
white and grey bars.

Maturity Samples
Figure. Herring maturity samples collected during Seal Island surveys
in 2024 to determine proportion of individuals spawning for Eastern
Shore acoustic index of spawning stock biomass. Stage codes are: 1-2
Immature, 3-5 Ripening or Ripe. 6, Spawning, 7 Spent, and 8-9
Recovering.

Target Strength
Table. Summary of 2024 fish sampled for Seal Island by survey date
and location with TS estimate from samples and TS estimate for a 28 cm
herring using the length/weight equation.

SSB Bubble Plots
SSB - Spawning Stock Biomass
Figure. Spawning Stock Biomass (proportional to size of a bubble
plot) in thousands Seal Island acoustic survey by day in the year. Note
that SSB on this figure have not been adjusted by the turnover equations
and neighboring survey times may be temporally auto-correlated.
Work in Progress - Years with missing Bubbles have not been added to
the database.

Summary
Table. Summary of the 2024 Trinity Ledge spawning ground acoustic
survey data and associated biomass estimates. A maximum biomass estimate
value is taken when that are less than 10 days, instead, a single value
is used in the reported biomass estimates for 10 day intervals.

Maturity Samples
Figure. Herring maturity samples collected during Trinity Ledge
surveys in 2024 to determine proportion of individuals spawning for
Trinity Ledge acoustic index of spawning stock biomass. Stage codes are:
1-2 Immature, 3-5 Ripening or Ripe. 6, Spawning, 7 Spent, and 8-9
Recovering.




### Target Strength {.tabset} Table. Summary of 2024 fish sampled for

Spectacle Buoy
Summary
Table. Summary of the 2024 Spectacle Buoy spawning ground acoustic
survey data and associated biomass estimates. A maximum biomass estimate
value is taken when that are less than 10 days, instead, a single value
is used in the reported biomass estimates for 10 day intervals.

Length Frequency
Figure. Length distribution used for calculation of TS for the
Spectacle Buoy acoustic surveys with proportions <23cm and >30cm
shown as white and grey bars.



Maturity Samples
Figure. Herring maturity samples collected during Spectacle Buoy
surveys in 2024 to determine proportion of individuals spawning for
Little Hope acoustic index of spawning stock biomass. Stage codes are:
1-2 Immature, 3-5 Ripening or Ripe. 6, Spawning, 7 Spent, and 8-9
Recovering.



### Target Strength {.tabset} Table. Summary of 2024 fish sampled for
Spectacle Buoy by survey date and location with TS estimate from samples
and TS estimate for a 28 cm herring using the length/weight
equation.
